the fire and that she should not get up. Mrs.
Diehl came down stairs in short time, and
not finding Mr. Dieh in the house, she first
sent and afterwards went to the barn. Ithad
not yet been opened and she was shocked to

Plan to Break Jail Discovered.

An attempt to break Jail was discovered by
Sheriff Lynch on Monday afternoon about two
o'clock, in time to prevent big Jail delivery.
For some ten days the sheriff had noticed an
unusual amount of noise, of dancing and sing
ing in the Jail in the evening, and during the
day would notice the prisoners standing around
as if on watch, the cell doors being blanketed
Suspecting something wrong, he examined all
the cells, but discovered nothing. On a
second examination, however, he found in
cell No. Il, third tier, occupied by Ohm Berens
and Charles Rodgers, the iron bars Of the
window were gone and replaced with broom
sticks, blackened with charcoal, to resemble
the bars When discovered Berens protested
to know nothing of it, and Rodgers looked
frightened. Three caseknives were found
made into saws, supposed to have been
secreted there by some of the prisoners
friends; also twenty pound weight, which 1t
is thought would have been used TO assist
them in gettingsover the wall. No ropes Of
any kind we're found. One of the prisoners
said they intended making them Monday
night The sheriff locks the prisoners in their
cells at nine clock, and there would have
been ample time TO get ready and escape
Some of the railing around the tiers was used
to prize the bars opt with. On several occa-
sions friends of the prisqgers wanted to go
into the jail, but were not admltted. There
were thirty prisoners in Jail at the time, and
the gang connected in the attempted delivery
were Daniel Farlin, Moody Liyine, and Nc
Farlan, alias Bolivar, for breaking in cars on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; George
Taylor, theft of cloverseed; Charles Rodgers,
peace warrant Wesley Dutton, ASSEMBLING
officer Lindsay, and John Berens, assaulting
IA young lady at Union Bridge. Sheriff Lynch
says it was well planned affair.
